president obama -- five d.c. circuit court nominees, four of them likely filibustered by the republicans. this is a troubling contrast. there is no question that president obama's nominees have the qualifications and integrity to serve on this important court. there are absolutely no -- underline "no" -- extraordinary circumstances that justify filibustering these nominees. just a few days ago when the senate republicans filibustered patricia millett, they ignored the obvious. she has argued 32 cases before the u.s. supreme court. is someone literally going to come here and say, well, she is not equal tied to serve on a federal court. not only that, she has the overwhelming endorse many of solicitors general of both political parties. clearly, she is well-qualified and has bipartisan support for the job, but it wasn't good enough for the other side of the aisle. they filibustered her, stopping her nomination. for those who are new to the senate, i wish the filibuster was new as well, but it's an old trick, an old

that's what president obama said. if the white house had been honest about how many families are going to lose access to their doctors, this health care law would never have passed. well, the white house did make that promise. democrats did pass that law. and american families all across the country are suffering as a result. so coming back from wyoming this morning, mr. president, i picked up "usa today." this is a newspaper whose editorial page had supported the president's health care law, but their view today, "coverage cancellations belie obama's promise. obamacare is starting to resemble a patient bleeding from self-inflicted wound. a month after launches the online health exchanges where individuals are supposed to shop for insurance remain slow or unusable, except in the states that opted to run their own marketplaces and did a more competent job than the administration. states more competent than the administration. as if that weren't trouble enough, critics are justifiably mocking president obama for his rep

again, in president obama's fifth year we will have confirmed 38 nominees after today's vote. in addition to the robust pace of activity on the floor, the committee has had an aggressive schedule of hearings and business meetings, taking action on many more nominees. in total, the senate will have confirmed 207 lower court article 3 judges. we have voted against three nominees. so 207 to 3 being defeated is a success rate for the president of 99% of his nominees. i think that's a pretty outstanding record not just for president obama, but for any president. so i reject the continuing rhetoric regarding how republicans are obstructing president obama's judicial nominees. again, i congratulate the nominees on their anticipated confirmations and will put my complete statement in the record outlining the professional qualifications of these nominees. i yield the floor. mr. leahy: madam president? the presiding officer: 0 the senator from vermont. mr. leahy: madam president, i won't go so much into numbers, but i did hear my friend say that, question whether president obama is trea

circuit that aren't needed, republicans had stopped a grand total of two of president obama's judicial nominees. not ten, as the democrats had by president bush's fifth term in office, not 34 as one of my colleagues tried to suggest earlier this week. no, two have been stopped. and if you include the nominees for the d.c. circuit, we've stopped a grand total of five. again, not ten as the democrats had done in 2005, not 34 as one of my colleagues tried to argue earlier this week, but five. during the same time, we've confirmed 209 lower court article 3 judges, that's a record of 209 judges approved, to five that were not approved. so this threat isn't based on any crisis. there is no crisis. i'd note that today's "wall street journal" editorial entitled "d.c. circuit breakers" -- quote --"the white house wants to pack a court whose judges are underworked" -- end of quote, lays out a caseload pretty clearly, and i'd ask that this editorial be made a part of the record. the presiding officer: without objection. mr. grassley: so this is about a naked power grab and nothing more than a pow
